Wet and Windy Weekend in Marathon

Residents in Marathon prepared for Isaac as they would any other big storm, and dozens of shops were shuttered on the city's Overseas Highway. But in the end what they got was just a wet and very windy weekend. "There's no such thing as a small storm, big storm. Every storm poses some sort of a danger," Monroe County Emergency Management Director Irene Toner said. "So to think, 'Oh, it's only Cat 1,' or 'It's only a tropical storm' is really not the way to look at it, because Mother Nature is unpredictable - as the storm turned out to be unpredictable." Nashville native Michael Hall took refuge from the storm at a shelter. (Published Sunday, Aug 26, 2012)

"Everybody was safe. We didn't have any mishaps. We didn't have any sunken boats, sunken cars, sunken trucks, everything worked out real well," he said.

Key Largo resident Michele Kosiek said she put up her shutters just in case.
